Since popularising the shoot 'em up in 1978, theÂ Space InvadersÂ series practically went dormant for thirty years. Sure, Taito rolled out sequels and anniversary editions, but rarely did these games evolve the series in any meaningfully sufficient way. Such thinly-veiled cash-ins on theÂ Space InvadersÂ namesake could barely meet the legacy they were supposedly representing. The series' presence in modern gaming was an embarrassment, to be sure.
